Question

what did the dred scott decision help contribute to?
○ the missouri compromise
○ abolitionist activities
○ the civil war
○ bleeding kansas

Explanation:

The Dred Scott decision (1857) ruled that African Americans were not citizens and that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional, intensifying sectional tensions over slavery. This heightened conflict between North and South, contributing to the conditions that led to the Civil War. The Missouri Compromise was before the decision, abolitionist activities were spurred but not the main contribution to a large - scale event like the Civil War, and Bleeding Kansas was more about the Kansas - Nebraska Act.

Answer:

C. the Civil War
